Sega-Naomi

Hi all, I just got my first Naomi setup. It's a Naomi 1, I just wanted to play a few carts CvsS, MvsC2, PowerStone, etc.



I got the Naomi 1 board, Sega I/O board, sound amp & power supply. Also got a MvsC2 cart today in the mail with it. I've got an Astro City cab and I thought I have everything set up right and I get a grey screen with horizontal lines on it, but I have sound.



I look up some hook up diagrams and they show hooking it up with the VGA cables so I did that (though the prior owner said I didn't need it), I got sound and picture. But my MvsC2 cart is giving me the Error 01.



Ran a RAM test and everything checks out, tried to clear the memory and re-insert the cart and still get the error.



I don't know what's up, the cart was supposed to be tested and working. I don't have any other carts yet (though one should be here Monday or Tuesday) so I don't know if it's just that or if I'm missing something in the setup process.



I've tried to look up answers but I haven't really seen anything that I either understand, or provides a solid answer. Any help is appreciated, sorry if I'm asking a stupid question.

Does this happen with the other carts you mentioned?

I don't have any others at the moment, I'm expecting one Monday or Tuesday. I'll post some pics here in a bit to show what I've got.

Ok, here's some pics of the set up.



Naomi unit:





Power Supply (I don't know what the molex connector coming off of it does, I didn't see anything for it to plug into):





Cart slot & MvsC2 bottom:

Is it a region locked game?

Not that I know of, I was under the impression that there were no problems playing Marvel vs. Capcom 2 on different bios from what I've read.

Probably one of the many faulty MVC2 carts that are floating around.



Could be:



Faulty MVC2

Bent pins on the bottom of the cart

Bent pins on the motherboard

Ok, so if I'm getting the pic and sound at least my setup is working I'm guessing. I was worried it might be something on that end.



So if I get another cart that end up working, this is something I should consider sending off to Ken isn't it?

Yep,



Best bet is to send to Ken



I've got one also. Strange that so many MVC2's are dead MVC2's are poping up.



Here is my saga :smt011

Yeah I read that but I had doubted my ability to hook this up right, haha. Well I hope the CvsS cart I get works so at least I know I have a working setup.



Thanks folks who have looked and offered suggestions.
